The Cemetery was formed in March, 1916, but it remained a very small one until September, 1917, when the 60th, 65th and 66th General Hospitals came to the neighbourhood. In June, July and September, 1918, other Hospitals were brought to the high and healthy country beside the Salonika-Hortakoi road; and in September, 1918, the influenza epidemic began which raged for three months and filled three-quarters of the cemetery. The last burial took place in January, 1919.
